Ellen Page recently sat down with Ellen DeGeneres to chat about her decision to come out, and they had what is probably the sweetest conversation ever televised. Page said that she was "the most nervous I've ever been in my life" when she came out during her speech at a Human Rights Campaign event in February. She also told DeGeneres that she was grateful to the talk show host for coming out "in a time when it was much harder and much scarier."

DeGeneres, who came out in 1997, told Page she could definitely relate to her fear of being honest about her sexuality. "I think there's something about just not having to worry about somebody catching you in a lie," DeGeneres said. "I know what that's like when you're on a show, and you just feel like you're waiting for someone to go, 'You're gay! I know you are.'"

The whole clip is worth watching, but beware, for it will definitely cause awkward, joy-induced tearing up.
